Northern California's Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is the subject of a wide variety of blogs, which chronicle the good, the bad, and the, well, ugly.

"In a world where online diaries document everything from the mundane to the inane, it's no surprise that public transportation and all its foibles, follies, fun and fools cannot escape the current raison d'etre of cyberspace: blogging.

From bartrage.com to bartmusings.com, commuters -- and BART employees themselves -- offer inside peeks into the daily grind, spotlighting both the good and the bad in the Bay Area's most talked-about transit system."

"I love you baby, you are so beautiful", "No, you are more sexy." -- bartmusings.com."

"n an eight hour day, twelve patrons lost their tickets (and had no money) and over twenty (stopped counting) owed money on their tickets to exit but reportedly also had no money. However I was not cursed at so it was a damn good day!! -- bartrage.com"
